I really love this guy..
$4 Billion?
Wow, that is a lot of money
I agree in theory, but, Donald... this bird will need measures and countermeasures that your jet doesn’t. It ain’t the same.
Pres only needs 747 for overseas. A 737 platform would suffice for domestic travel. Press can travel commercial.
The planes won’t be delivered until the last year of his second term. Cancel them.
Stay in the USA. Let world leaders come to him. Skip the 0 travel routine.
I keep getting ideas, and then wondering if there’s any possibility of getting them to Trump.
Apparently there is: telepathy.
I’ve thought for years that a Repub President should not have a big plane. There’s no reason to fly all over the world. And there’s no reason for “continuity of government.” And I’ve thought he should make a big deal out of the money he is saving.
Just shop-vac the interior with a super heavy-duty shop-vac, steam-clean it, spray every nook and cranny with lysol and let it dry in the desert with all the doors and windows open for a week. That ought to kill all the obama cooties.
President-elect Trump is, without a doubt, the most gifted businessman and brilliant strategic thinker ever to become the leader of this country. Even the NeverTrump numbskulls at “Hotair” are finally awakening to that realization.
Yep. Keep what we got (AF-1), but get the residual smoke-stink out of the existing; DJT don’t smoke and, it stinks.
Oh, and, get rid of the MEDIA section. Let the POTUS fly (for free!) without any hound-dogs.
SQUEEZE the BASTARDS.
The party is over.
I’d like to hear Trump say the same thing for 0’s planned renovation of the Oval Office.
No tellin’ what is going to be installed and what it will look like or the cost.
The real story here is that Trump brings a business approach to Washington. Waste, excessive costs, inefficiency and poor results will not be tolerated.
“A billion here, a billion there, pretty soon, you’re talking real money.”
Milk the taxpayers we much, Boeing?
Yeah, yeah. Let's hear all the excuses about how technologically advanced the plane must be and how that takes extra time and all the usual crud people come up with to explain away Union pickpocketry.
Most of that 4 billion dollars will go straight into Union coffers.
The current habit of having the mainslime media flying in a very fancy 747 is insane! The SAM squadron needs to pull two or three clapped out C-130’s from the boneyard -[Davis Monthan for you Rio Linda types]- and use them to haul the WH press pool around. And no fricking airline seats either. Let the slimers ride in bucket seats with box lunches provided by Sheriff Joe. Yes indeed, one ride C-130 ride from Andrews to LAX - eleven or twelve hours, and all of those vermin will fly commercial gladly, on their own dime.
He is leveraging the new AF1 to put Boeing on notice, don't sell your soul and open up a plant in China and give away the farm.
I am not tired of winning!
I guess Boeing forgot one important fact. Donald Trump has experience buying aircraft; the cost for his own planes, and the costs of planes when he purchased Eastern Airlines.
And so it begins, we will finally have someone in the White House who will actually watch the purse strings. I expect other significant tax payer savings too that have been traditional in government infrastructure boondoggles.
This just gets better and better and this news item inspires me to say just one more thing: Make America Great Again, Donald! We know you can do it!
Well, what do expect when they are used as a shuttle service for dogs...and their pets, for every golf, fundraiser, golf, vacation and golf outing they can think of.
